American Horror Story Hotel, Chutes and Ladders TV review: It's one long Lady Gaga video

Sex, drugs, fashion and plain weirdness all set to a great soundtrack? American Horror Story is starting to feel more and more like one long Lady Gaga music video - and what's not love about it?

Tonight we delved further into the Hotel Cortez and got the whole back story of why it's so darned creepy, but it was the Countess who kept us captivated.

The Lady in question is earning her acting chops as she goes along. The Countess is not just a sexy, vampiric creature with her eye on the next conquest, there's something deeper there and you get the impression that we've yet to see more from Lady Gaga in this role.

What we have learnt about the Countess so far is that she is highly intelligent, which makes her reason to turn super-bratty super model Tristan Duffy (Finn Wittrock) perplexing. 

Yes, he has razor sharp cheek bones that could cut ice and a chiselled body to match but he's completely crackers - much like his Freak Show alter-ego Dandy Mitt, down to his predilection for wandering around in tiny Y-fronts. Not to mention that he's as thick as he is handsome and hardly the brightest of people. 

Who asks if they can kill Kendall Jenner shortly after they've been turned? Let's hope the Countess is only keeping him around for the thrills because compared to Donovan (Matt Bomer) he's about as interesting as watching blood spatters drying on bedsheets.

Returning to the Lady Gaga music video analogy, real-life super model Naomi Campbell makes a cameo as Claudia Bankson, an Anna Wintour-esque Vogue journalist, who we can just imagine having a cat fight over a Louboutin swag bag at a fashion show. Although there's no outward signs of aggression, you can tell she's a hard-bitten fashion hack who knows her stuff and you wouldn't want to get in her way.

Lady Gaga fills in the blank with #IAmNotJust campaign

Lady Gaga, currently going by The Countess (the name of her American Horror Story: Hotel alter ego) on Twitter, is not here for you to label her. Never has been.
To that end, she has launched a new social media initiative through her Born This Way Foundation, in conjunction with Yale University.
This is about changing people's behavior, changing culture, changing the tone of how we value our feelings," Gaga wrote on Instagram Saturday when launching the social media campaign.

All you have to do is fill in the blank below. (But if you want Gaga to repost it, you're gonna have to provide art.)

Grace Jones on Meeting Lady Gaga: "I Just Didn't Feel a Soul"

Feud alert?! Grace Jones is seemingly not the biggest fan of Lady Gaga. The 67-year-old supermodel and songstress revealed during a recent interview with Bevy Smith on SiriusXM’s Bevelations that when she met Lady Gaga, she didn’t connect with her.

“Gaga came to me, and I just could not find a soul,” Jones told Smith. “I come from church — maybe that has something to do with it. I like to get to the soul of a person. I just didn’t feel a soul.” 

Jones, however, made it clear that she doesn’t think Gaga is soulless. “She might have been freaked out with meeting me,” she explained. “This happened. It’s okay, but then we met three times after, through [Philip] Treacy and, boy, I got so angry.”

Angry, Jones explained, because she felt that Gaga was ripping her off when it came to sporting the designer’s work. “I know Philip needed to make some money, but you know what, can you just wait until I finish my tour before you repeat what we are working on?”

This isn’t the first time that Jones has sounded off on fellow singers.

During an interview with Paper magazine’s October 2015 issue, Jones bashed Kanye West after he had his then-girlfriend Amber Rose recreate Jones’ iconic 1985 Jean-Paul Goude photoshoot.

“Kanye has been ripping off stuff from me and Jean-Paul Goude for a long time, so it was no surprise to me,” Jones admitted. “It’s so like, ‘I can’t beat him, [so I guess I’ll try to] understand him,’” she explained.

LADY GAGA TO WRECK HOTEL?

American Horror Story and Lady Gaga (her earlier albums) are cool.
Sometimes combining elements can lead to combustion.
As an actress, Lady Gaga has appeared less than stellar. A good performer on stage she may be. Her role in Machete Kills was somewhere in the realm of forgettable. If you've seen her acting with Beyonce in the "Telephone" official video, it seems sub par, to put it politely. Horror movies from the early 80's had better acting.
It just seemed years, or more appropriately, decades behind what the horror shows of today present, especially a several time Emmy nominated/winner like American Horror Story.
To date, no actor/actress has had their name superimposed over the title like Gagas had in the trailers leading up to the shows premier. That's quite a burden to bear, especially since she's essentially filling in as a leading role for Golden Globe and Emmy winner Jessica Lange.
If you've seen some of Lady Gagas music videos, they can get pretty damn weird. You may have as much an idea as what's going on in them as I do if "clown porn", or "pterodactyl porn" or "clown with pterodactyl porn" was Googled. Just see "Bad Romance" for reference.
It seems a shoe in that American Horror Story, with their way out their scenes, would accommodate to Ladys Gaga very well, so hopefully, it can provide a familiar setting in which she can perform to her best ability and feel comfortable in.
The question is: will that be enough?
